I wore a 35mm for a couple of years, but sold it. after 12 years of looking, I found a big brother
for a reasonable price. I'm now wise enough not to sell this keeper. yes, I neglected to screw in
the crown after setting the time. everything is fine now.:)

Any generation of the Overseas is pretty darn wonderful, but there is a real charm to the nice size of the first generation. It wears so well and it is a very handsome looking watch. I was wearing a 37ish mm Vacheron Constantin watch today, too, albeit not an Overseas.
